  • Object type : GRB
  • Redshift (z) : ?
  • Other relevant information
  • RA, Dec in deg (ICRS): 254.2391, 18.3233

Data-taking information

• Dates of data-taking:
  • Date: 2024-08-05 (3.8 h)
    • ZD range (deg): 10 - 60
    • Observations:

2024-08-05: [18438, 18439, 18440, 18441, 18442, 18443, 18444, 18445, 18446, 18447, 18448, 18449]

• Data quality selection: no run survives the data quality selection (max NSB std: 2.3).
• Joint observations with MAGIC?: yes
• Information on data-taking (observations summaries): https://www.lst1.iac.es/datacheck/observation_overview/2024/08/run_summary_2024_08_05.pdf

From Seiya Nozaki (via Slack): The last part of observations was significantly affected by MAGIC LIDAR, then rate control was not properly working and the rates were very low (~1 kHz). It seems this also affected the camera homogeneity, so I think that's why the background level is different between ON/OFF. http://www.lst1.iac.es/elog/LST+commissioning/3512

This seems to be causing spurious excess due to ON/OFF mismatch in one of the latest GRB data runs (18448)

Those last runs of GRB observations present a much higher camera average rate.

Light curve

Note: Run 18448 has an excess of events in theta2 plot, likely because camera homogeneity was affected by MAGIC LiDAR and ON/OFF counts were different. See explanation here: https://www.lst1.iac.es/elog/LST+commissioning/3512.
